Is it possible to include SVG object right onto HTML page in Firefox
1.5?
All samples on mozilla.org are either stay-alone .svg files or XML
files. When trying to insert them in HTML page it just doesn't display.
Does it mean that you always have to use XML or XHTML, or I'm just
missing something?
You need to make sure you have markup parsed by an XML parser or you use
namespace aware DOM methods to create your elements. The following works
in a text/html document with Firefox 1.5:
var svg = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'svg');
svg.setAttribute('width', '200');
svg.setAttribute('height', '200');
svg.setAttribute('viewBox', '0 0 200 200');
var circle = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg',
'circle');
circle.setAttribute('cx', '100');
circle.setAttribute('cy', '100');
circle.setAttribute('r', '30');
circle.setAttribute('fill', 'green');
svg.appendChild(circle);
document.body.appendChild(svg);
But this is of course not something to rely on generally, a HTML
document does not need to support createElementNS.
If you want to include SVG graphics in HTML documents then use object or
iframe to stay within the HTML standard or perhaps embed which is not
part of the HTML standard but has rather wide support and might get
better results than object currently as I think for instance the latest
Adobe SVG viewer 3.something releases for security reasons disable
scripting in SVG if object is used to embed the graphics in an HTML
document.
